That youth unemployment is an issue of concern in Kenya is no secret with statistics showing that at least 67 per cent of young people in Kenya aged between 15 and 34 are unemployed.

In 2014, Association for Development of Education in Africa commissioned a report dubbed ‘The 2014 Kenya Country Report on Youth Unemployment’ which found that the country’s labour market is characterised by inadequate employment opportunities.
